Nene Leakes' Uncle Looks Like Senator Roland Burris

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this, but Nene Leakes' uncle Mel from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" looks like Senator Roland Burris.

After a long search, this is the only picture I could find. If you have a better picture, feel free to let me know. Nene's uncle is on the far left, and to the right of her is the co-author of her book (Denene Millner), and Nene's alleged real dad.

Bravo Fabulous / October 21, 2009 6:04 PM

Nene, eventually Bravo fans saw your true spirit come out progressively through the show. You tried to blame the Bravo show editors for making you look like a villain. No Nene – the fact is Bravo fans saw what you truly are = a Lumpy Moose who is a Rotten Atlanta Peach to the core! Regarding assault: Kim including anyone who is has been physically assaulted by you should have had you arrested. You are a hypocrite, you were a victim of violence yet were and are are violent toward others, verbally and physically. You are a poor representative of victims, even though Twisted Hearts and the Heel the Soul- Stiletto Woman is rooted in good intentions, you tarnish it all due to your violent bulling behavior on the the show. Bravo executives, please kick her ugly ass mooseface off the show! Nene in negotiations with her own show = disgusting! ***Listen to NeNe verbal comments about the first time she saw her possible father… she called him a ‘Mess’ before pulling over the car to meet him. Obviously he gonna hear that comment reviewing the episode, Nene has no respect or class not even for a disabled elderly possible father. It just keeps getting worse the more you think about Nene.
